Capalaba Piranhas Celebrates Community Recognition and Support

The Capalaba Piranhas were honoured to attend the recent Community Bank Victoria Point and Community Bank Wynnum Manly Community Event, where a number of local not-for-profit organisations were recognised for the valuable work they do within our community.

We are incredibly proud to announce that the Capalaba Piranhas were awarded a $1,500 Community Grant. This funding will contribute towards several much-needed upgrades to our club canteen, helping us continue to improve the facilities and services we provide for our swimmers, families, volunteers and visitors.

Receiving this grant is not only a welcome financial boost, but also a wonderful acknowledgement of the hard work, commitment and dedication shown by our volunteers who continue to build a thriving, inclusive and successful swimming club for our community.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Community Bank Victoria Point and Community Bank Wynnum Manly for their generous support and for recognising the positive impact community sporting clubs have on local families.

We would also like to thank everyone who supported our recent raffle fundraiser. Over the past 10 weeks, our members, families and supporters helped us raise approximately $1,600 through raffle ticket sales. Combined with the grant funding, these funds will enable us to purchase additional equipment and make valuable improvements to our canteen facilities, ensuring our hardworking canteen crew have the resources they need to continue supporting our club.

One of the highlights of the evening was meeting Chris Webster, one of our Life Members. While many of us have seen Chris regularly engaging with our social media posts, it was wonderful to finally put a face to the name. Chris shared how proud he is to see the Capalaba Piranhas back in the pool, growing stronger each season and achieving so much success since the club's relaunch. It was a pleasure to spend time with him and thank him personally for his ongoing support of our club.

The evening was a wonderful reminder of the strength of community and the power of local organisations working together to make a positive difference. We are extremely grateful for the support we receive from our members, sponsors, volunteers and community partners, and we look forward to continuing to grow and provide opportunities for swimmers of all ages and abilities.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
